CThe Southern Cultivator, pub

proves^the truth of this assertion.
j" So far the registration of voters
in New York city shows a ratio
equal to an increase of 50,000 vo
ters over the registration of 1884.
The democrats claim two-thirds of
this increase.
It is a positive duty tour people
owe the democratic party that a
full vote of the state shall be polled.
It matters not that the state is re
garded safely demcoratic, Every
county should poll its full demo
cratic vote. We should not be
derelict in duty merely because no
immediately positive harm is like
ly to result.
In Georgia there are two tickets
in opposition to the democratic
presidential ticket — republican
and prohibition. The labor ticket
may also be placad in the field.
It is unnecessary at this late day
to attempt any arraignment of the
parties opposed to democratic su
premacy. Suffice it to say, the
south must look to the democratic Seerefcary Nesbi l informs _
party for justice in national affairs. | that the Georgia State Fair will
the Superior court, in a book kept
for that purpose. Whenever a
mortgage is paid, the record of
that mortgage should be marked
“satisfied,” across the face of it on
the record book. 5?his is entirely
in the interest of the party giving
the mortgage, and it may not be
done unless he looks after it him
self.
It is true that the note and orig
inal mortgage is given into the
hands of the.maker when thetoebt
is satisfied, but the record must be
looked after, or disagreeable re
sults may follow. It might be
possible for the debt to be collect
ed the second time, if the record
remains unchanged, and one of the
parties should die.
There is also another phase to
be ^considered. The Clerk is of
ten written to asking about the fi
nancial status of a certain party.
The party^may have given a mort
gage; if that mortgage is paid, and
the record not marked “satisfied,”
the Clerk is obliged to reply that
a mortgage stands against him,
This. works ill to his credit, when
it would not be so if he immedi
ately sees that the record of his
mortgage is cancelled when the
debt is paid.
These suggestions apply alike to
Houston county, and all other
counties in Georgia. Therefore
we advise our readers to see that
the record of their mortgages are
marked satisfied immediately af
ter the debts upon which they are
based are paid.

The democracy may loose a
Congressman or two, in New York,
on account of the fact that Tam-
msny Hall and the County Democ
racy have each nominated candi
dates in several of the congres
sional distsicts.
The leaders of Tammany Hall
and the county democracy? declare
that the National and state tickets
will not be hurtfully affeted by the
fact that there are two democratic
candidates in the race for Mayor
of New York City.
*—
The only]Jew ever 1 nominated
for CoRgress from New York is
now a republican candidate for the
eighth district of that state. Be
is not an Isrealite by birth, but an
orthordox Jew by religion. Hie
name is Julius Schwartz.
The democracy can lose the
presidential election only by the
loss of New York, .and that state
can be lost only through the fail
ure of the New York city demo
crats to harmonize’"on municipial
and congressional candidates.
During the session of congress
jusfi adjourned, over 15,000 bills
were introduced, yet fewer than
usual became laws. It is well as
the result is, else there would have
been entirely too much national
legislation for the good of the
country.
In answer to a telegram from
San Francisco, a decision on the
Chinese question has deen made
at "Washington, to the effect that
Chinese laborers must not be al

territory, whether for transit to
foreign countries or otherwise.

where. Editor Ford is a sympa

It is also true that in tariff mat
ters the republican party is pecu
liarly northern in its scope, and
its success will mean much to the
detriment of southern industry.
We have no word to say against
the prohibition party, save that the
country is not yet ready to elect
an administration solely upon that
issue. There is much to commend
the labor party, but the affairs of
the country can never be adminis
tered in the special^interest of any
class of our people.
Georgia is uudeniably demo
cratic. On Tuesday of next week
we must prove our appreciation of
this fact. Our candidate for pres
ident is second to none in point of
honesty, wisdom, integrity and pa
triotic courage, who ever officially
occupied the white ho use at Wash
ington. Our candidate for vice
president is one of “the noblest
Homans” of all who have served a
lifetime in behalf of the pure prin
ciples of the genuine democracy
that seeks to serve the people just
ly, and without favor to classes.
The best interests of the country
demand democratic success.
[n the third district our candi
date, Hon. Charles F. Crisp, of
Sumter, has served well and faith
fully the national democracy, the
country at large, and his imme
diate constituency. He deserves
re-election, and We should give it
to him fully. Not that we fear
his defeat, but that we may thus
honor him for his able and faith
ful service.
In Houston, as perhaps in many
other counties, the negroes are
being marshalled to poll their full
strength. We must see to it that
they are not more faithful in their
allegiance than we.
Democrats of Houston, go to the
polls, every one of you, and on
Tuesday 1 , November 6th, make an
other record of your faith in the
honored principles of democracy.
The managers of the National
Democratic campaign need money
to defray the legitimate expences
of the campaign. It is not proba
ble that they will get too much.
The democrats of the South, Geor
gia especially, should not be nig
gardly in subscribing to this cam
paign fund. The South is deeply
interested in the-issues of the cam
paign. We need no fund in Geor
gia that the candidates cannot af
ford to furnish. Therefore there

be the biggest agricultural show
ever seen in Georgia. Six coun
ties will contest for the $1,000 pre
mium offered for the best collect
ive display of county products.
These alone will make an agricul
tural show worthy of going a thou
sand miles to see. But there will
b6 besides these, numerous indi
vidual exhibits of farm products.
Then there will be more Geor
gia horses than have ever before
been seen together at one time;
219.’stalls for horses have [already
been engaged. Jf The ‘display; of
cows, hogs, poultry, etc., will be
full to overflowing. The house
hold department will be unequal-
ledjn the variety and excellence
of the exhibits.
Then there will be splendid
races, a free barbecue, fireworks at
night, and many other amuse
ments. .
Georgians cannot afford to miss
seeing this grand aggregation of
Georgia products.

hard word said about her. She
was a member of the Methodist
church at this place, and a very
prominent character in our Sun
day school; we will miss her beau
tiful voice: no one can. say how
much, except : .those of us who
heard her each Sunday morning,
both in song; and counsel. She
was always ready to forgive an
erring brother or sister, and to
help them get right and stay so.
It is very sad to write of the death
of one who was loved so much,
but the ways of Providence are in
scrutable, and we must try to be
content and to ever say “Thy Will
0 Lord, not mine, be done.” The
bereaved _ family have the most
heartfelt sympathy of our entire
village. May God in his mercy
bless each one of them.
Our friend and neighbor J. H.

at all. We sincerely hope that he
may yet recover.

The surveying corps of the At

thourgh our village on their re-
turu trip from Waycross. I learn
that their survey joined oh to the
old survey of the 0. & M. at Snow,
and they moved on above us and
were to take it up and go on to
Fort Valley.* Our people are be
ginning to have seme hopes of
getting this road. If it goes to
Waycross we feel almost sure of it,
but shotdd it go to Quitman it will
miss us not more than three miles,
and we will try to be content with
that. We fefel sure they can’t get
any farfche than th a t from us.
I have heard y nothing more
about our dirt road to3Elko, and
hope that all the trouble has blown
over, and that the commissioners
will grant both roads.

Here is the sorrow, the sighing,
Here are the clouds and the night;
Here is the sickness, the dying.
There are the life and the light.
Here is the fading, the wasting;
The foe that so watchfully waits:
There are the hills everlasting;
The city with beautiful gates, j
Here are the locks growing hoary;
The glass with the vanishing sands;
There are the crown and the glory—
The house that is made not with hands.
Here is the longing, the vision,-
The hopes that so swiftly remove;
There is the blessed fruition;
The feast and the fullness of love.
Here are the heartstrings atremblej
And here is the chastening rod;
There is the song and the cymbal,
And there is onr Father and God.
Farewell, dear sister!
In the shadows God lays the stones,
On which his gates of praise shall
Biso at last.

Died in Houston county, G&, on
Oct. 4th, 1888, John H. Hose, af
ter an illuess of nearly six months.
He was 62 years, 9 months and 14
days old, and had been a citizen of
Houston County about forty years.
He leaves a wife, one daughter,
three sous, and many, many rela
tives and friends to mourn his loss.
Their loss is his eternal gain.
He bore his sufferings patiently.
Seemingly, ne was “only waiting
for the Saviour's welcome,” which
we feel confident he received ’ere
his spirit took its flight.
A fond, loving-husband; a kind,
indulgent father; a true and- tried
brother; a good friend, and an
honest, noble iaan is gone. To
say lit was faultless would be
wrong. He was his worst, and
methinks his only enemy.
Brother John, we feel as though
you are now in the? Beautiful
